**2022 Iowa Basketball Off-Season Thread**

You get paid at Hy-Vee sacking groceries.

Must've been in IT last week

 

[kenos]

Just shut the fuck up.

just bite me

 

[TurdBurgler]

If things stay the course, a player like Tyler cook will make well over $1m playing college ball. Way more money out there than anyone appreciated

 

[CleteyColgate]

to somewhere other than iowa city, dipshit

g-league is better than that sweet falbo's nil

Yes I'm sure Kris wants to make $12k in the G League on a non guaranteed contract.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Former HyVee execs are doing that now

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Any skill improvement Kris might show next year could be completely negated by nba teams for being a year older.

Things won’t stay the course. These boosters/companies throwing mega millions at these pools are soon going to get pissy when they realize their money isn’t producing the return they want. It will be bananas for a couple of years and then somewhat come back down to earth IMO. Once these donors realize that the millions they are throwing into the ring is producing the same or similar results to what they’re already accustomed to, the collectives won’t be as large

Wrong

 

[CurdMan]

Wrong

Still a finite number of wins to go around. Theo Akwuba is no better than some other random big man Ole Miss could’ve gotten for far less with same win share increase. Donors just haven’t realized that yet

 

[Hawkstrat]

Not sure the money will dry up, but I do think marginal guys like Theo getting paid will end. Feeding frenzy for top guys though.

 

[CurdMan]

I do agree with the top guys. But I don’t think these people realize how unreliable the recruiting services are after you get past those top end targets

 

[TurdBurgler]

Somebody out there is winning and I bet it will be the teams that spend the most on their rosters. Fooey to this idea that boosters won't see returns.

 

[douglasbader]

LOL at anyone who thinks high dollar rich donors are looking at any of this rationally.

They don't give a fuck about rational. They have companies where they can just take from the marketing budget and spend every single year on this shit. They can shift their normal donation to the University to NIL collectives.

 

[douglasbader]

It isn't about the high schoolers, it is about now enticing known commodity transfers.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

@kenos regardless of how stupid they try to make you feel, there is absolutely nothing wrong with sharing opinions based on limited knowledge and fiercely defending them until the bitter end.

 

[KitKatApples]

This place would have nine posts at best without that

 

[CurdMan]

It isn't about the high schoolers, it is about now enticing known commodity transfers.

This is true. But in time guys like Theo Akwuba probably aren’t getting 6 (7?) figure deals. Hell, basketball is tame compared to football right now.

And I agree about donors acting rational, but it’s not going to take them long to realize that Ole Miss is still performing like Ole Miss even with their millions of dollars going into NIL. In time they’ll realize that there’s no return unless you’re getting top end talent.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

which is why iowa 2nd round picks weiskamp and cook came back to school. sure.

I have a hard time believing that a 21-year old kris would come back if he ended up 2nd round. free agent in g-league. there's no NIL to keep him in iowa city and his possible path to the nba at that age might be a tad better playing g-league.

yes, I got a couple of details wrong. I'm standing by the big picture that if he's 2nd, he doesn't go back to college. 18, 19 years old, different deal.

Leistikow said last week that he’s been hearing Kris is turning down workouts with teams and his agent is telling them that he’s likely going back to Iowa. TBD on actually doing stuff at the combine.

Yeah, but what about overseas and a 10 day???????

 

[Geese]

Yeah, but what about overseas and a 10 day???????

Tbd on doing stuff at the combine

a 10 day? LOL dumb fuck

 

[KitKatApples]

Oh boy

 

[douglasbader]

Oh boy

He's not a smart guy.

 

[Herbie2]

Are you in a time machine stuck back 15 years ago?

You don't think Kris could get a 10-day deal at some point?

 

[douglasbader]

You don't think Kris could get a 10-day deal at some point?

You might want to re-read the whole conversation. That WOOSH sound you hear going over your head (and Joggers) is not an accident....

 

[BBK]

Not until the PTL comes back giving him a chance to improve his craft

 

[26.2]

BOOM!

 

[Herbie2]

I did read the conversation and saw where you highlighted the 10 day contract portion as if that is some outlandish possibility, which is odd.

 

[douglasbader]

I did read the conversation and saw where you highlighted the 10 day contract portion as of that is some outlandish possibility, which is odd.

Holy shit. No, I didn't highlight the 10 day contract portion as some outlandish possibility.

I'm making fun of the poster because he is bringing up things that are mostly a decade or more old talking points on the NBA draft. Nobody talks about overseas or 10 day contracts when it comes to the NBA draft in 2022. Everything is about getting a 2 way deal or an early second round pick with a guaranteed 2-3 year deal.

Europe, 10 day contracts, and similar is something that a person who clearly has zero clue about the modern NBA and G-League would say.

Hope this helps, Herbie2.

You should get pissed

 

[douglasbader]

Me or Herbie? I am laughing, not pissed.

That’s a fine line for you.

You want to fucking test me?

That’s a fine line for you.

Kris got an invite to the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago next week.

You have no way of proving this.

SO YOU ARE SAYING THERE’S A CHANCE!!!

You have no way of proving this.

Incase Doug is swimming…

Yeah, I do. Twig.

Well if he posted it two weeks ago he knew about it a month ago.

Well hindsights 20/20 and all. It was obvious from any mild analysis of statistics that Fran under utilized Kris to the benefit of primarily patrick m. Critics might describe patrick as a one dimensional chucker. Yes kris fouled a lot, but some of that seems likely to have been due to forced to play the 5, because coaches sons were playing the forward positions. I would be absolutely shocked if this wasnt used against fran in recruiting. Sad.

I just wanted to note the above one last time. Onwards!

Kris committed 5.6 fouls per 40 minutes, as you acknowledge. But LOL that it was because the 'coach's son was playing the 4'. It was because all of the other options at the 5 fucking sucked.

What did you want to see, more Big Josh? Maybe some Riley Mulvey? Or how about Patrick McCaffery at the 5, since you believe those two situations are interchangeable?

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’d like to see Pat at the five. Would be good for a solid chuckle
